Jade Empire Sequel Possible

Eurogamer reports from their expo on comments by BioWare co-founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk on the possibility of a sequel to Jade Empire, their martial arts action/RPG:
"We've been talking a lot about that actually on and off over the years," said Ray Muzyka, BioWare CEO.

"It's an IP, it's a setting that we're really passionate about, and we still are. Both Greg and I were big believers in the IP.

"We're just looking for the right way to deploy it."

"We have a lot of different projects now on a lot of different platforms, and you might see some of that [Jade Empire] in the future. You never know.

"We don't have anything to announce on it right now," Muzyka added, "but it is a franchise that's near and dear to us."

Amazing story, setting and characters but the console designed gameplay, level design and inventory was crap. Thankfully there are some mods that help remove some of the painful console designs.

After the turd that was Dragon Age 2 why not turd it up with a sequel to Jade Empire, the game that was even worse. Makes sense.

I kinda liked it (on the PC). Had quite a bit of fun with it. As another said, no orcs! yay!

Or they could just jettison Laidlaw and Kristjanson, let them take the property with them, encourage them to steal away the b-team to form their own studio and scrub the company of their collective taint forever.

The mechanics were shit, but goddamn was the setting a breath of fresh air. Not a single fucking orc, elf, dwarf or their space variants anywhere. I'd look forward to a Jade Empire 2, certainly more than any Dragon Age sequel.

Mine too, but mostly because the I could never complete the game because it kept locking up on one particular level.

It's not the only BioWare games I had to give up on completing because their lacking QA.

I've stopped buying BioWare games. There are plenty other developers more deserving of my money.

Why not? Bioware's reputation can easily suffer another steaming pile of mediocrity.

This game had a good story and setting, but as mentioned the RPG elements were very thin.

One of my worst gaming dissapointments ever. Not realizing that this was a BeatEmUp with a few RPG elements (and not a Bioware RPG like NWN or Kotor), i stumbled through the first few minutes until i reached the beach where i just gave up. No exactly the genre i'm capable or even willing of playing

I smell another Bioware MMO on the way.

As long as we get another appearance of Sir Roderick Ponce Von Fontlebottom the Magnificent Bastard, I'm all for it.
I wonder if he reads them, or if it's just for show.

Interesting. I do know that Jade Empire on consoles is their worst reviewed game perhaps ever (though an average of low 80's is nothing to sneeze at) but once it hit on the PC and had several improvements, I bought it and had quite a lot of fun. I've even run through it several times now. The story is pure typical bioware sure, but the setting is very interesting and fun. So I'd definitely like to see another Jade Empire game.
